TAKES THE PAPERS.
JUDGE BcxD HSARs ALL THE AReu-
uExr ON THE COUPON. cRusHgR."
All the Cases Continued Until the 9Th
Day Of oetobsr-A Kew Order
Of Court.

The "coupon-crusher" discussion
was resumed yesterday morning in the
United States Circuit Court. The Hon.
Hugh L. Bond sat in Judgment, the
question being whether the iniunctions
he had granted should be dissolved or
not The Commonwealth maintained
the affirmative, the bondholders the
negative OF the proposition.
Colonel w. w. Gordon, who had
been employed by the State to assist in
the argument, addressed the Court for
about three quarters of an hour, when
from failing voice he was compelled to
desist. Turning to Acknowledgement
Ayers, he expressed regret that he was
unable to assist him any further.
PUT IT .IN WRITING.
Judge Bond said that Colonel Cor
don might put any further argument in
writing-that he was anxious to have
the briefs OF counsel anyway.
Major Leigh II. Page then concluded
the argument OF the case in behalf OF
the bondholders, which work well done
by him, the Judge took all the papers.
THE FAUoUIER CASES.
Mr.. Royal now again offered their
second amended bill, praying the Court
10 enjoin the officers Of Fauquier Cir
cut Court from proceeding TO issue
executions, in those cases where, de-
spite the injunction of Judge Bond.
Commonwealth s-Attorney Scott pro-
ceeded to sue and recover verdlcts
against coupon.tenderers.
WHAT DID HE PROMISE
Judge Bond, addressing Mr.. Ayers,
said that he understood that at the July
term the agreement on all sides was
that no further steps should be taken
under this act until the injunction
question was determined.
{. Mr.. Ayers replied that he had no
power and had made no pledge to bind
any one but himself that he had little
or no authority over the Common
wealths attorneys.
WANTS THE oRDER-BoOKs.
Among other things asked by Mr..
Royall in his second amended bill was
that Judge Keith's order books be
brought into the United States Court,
so that Judge Bond might remove the
cloud upon the titles of the coupon
tenderer's property, put there by MIR.
Scots suits.
The order, however, submitted by
Mr.. Royal for this occasion simply
commanded the clerk and the sheriff
to make no movement looking to put
ting the executions in force.
This the Judge signed.
DECISION IN OCTOBER.
Judge Pond announced that all the
cases were continued until the October
term, when he would submit his decision
in wiring. Meantime he expected the
injunctions to he observed. Proper re-
spect for the Court required that its in
functions should be obeyed no matter
whether they were afterwards dissolved
or not, and he binted that those who dis
regarded this obligation did it ut their
risk
And so all the cases Mr.. SCOTS in
cluded-go over until October 9Th.

DEATH OF MRS. JETER.
A usi Pull CHRISTIAN woMAE GONE
TO HER RRsT.
Brief Sketch Of Her Life In Richmond
and In the City Of Peters
burg,

Mrs. Mary Catharine Jeter, relict OF
Rev. J. b. Jeter, ID. D., died yesterday
afternoon at At o'clock at her residence,
on west Grace street, in the sixty-fourth
year of her age. For several years she
was a sufferer from cancer of the
stomach, and it was known that she was
in low health. So while her death is a
sorrowful event, it was not unexpected.
Her sufferings have been intense and
prolonged, and she hailed the approach
Of death as the messenger OF relief and
peace.
PARESTAGE AND FAIRLY LIFE.
Mrs. Jeter was the daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Williams, Of Petersburg.
When quite young che was remarkable
for her devotion to literary studies,
especially music, in which art she had
made rapid progress before she reached
her majority. Her first marriage was
to Rev. Mr.. Jennet, q young Baptist
minister remarkable for his precocious
genius and thrilling eloquence in the
pulpit. He lived but few years, and
died while pastor of the Baptist church
in Augusta, Ga.
MARRIAGE TO DIR. JETER.
After several years widowhood she
married Richard Dobbs, a prominent
citizen OF Charlotte county, Va. He
died Just before the war, and in 1868
she married DR.. J. b. Jeter (his fourth
wife) in the mansion of Archibald
Thomas, of this city. With him she
went abroad, and they were absent for
several years. Learned, clesr-headed,
and experienced man was DIR. Jeter,
she was able to be of vast service to
him in his pastoral work in his labors
os editor OF the Religious HeraLd, in
those numerous Christian enterprises in
which her active benevolence and ready
sympathy enlisted him, and was to him
a tender and loving wife until death
taking him, February Is, 1880, parted
them.
HER EDUCATION.
Mrs. Jeter not only enjoyed the best
educational advantages in her youth,
but by study, travel, and cultivated
companionship grew in knowledge
to the end of her life. She was a lady
of charming person, varied accomplish
ments, and most brilliant conversational
powers. She possessed fine literary
taste, and for many years edited the
Family Department of the Religious
Herdid, and she was the acknowledged
leader among the Baptist women OF
Richmond.
CHURCH WORK.
For years she was the teacher OF the
infant class-numbering over 100-at
Grace-Street Baptist church, and she
won distinguished success as an in
st1uctor. She only gave up her class
when her health failed her.
To the time of her death she was the
president of the Baptist Women's Mis-
sionary Society, composed of repre-
scntatives from all the Baptist churches
of the city. She was also president Of
the Board of Managers OF the Baptist
Home for Aged Women, and until
strength failed was foremost in every
work of the Church and its auxiliaries
where her encouragement and help
could avail.
FUNERAL.
Fer funeral will take place at the
Grace-Street Baptist church tomorrow
afternoon at g. o'clock.
